Achieving Financial Freedom: Life on a Converted School Bus

on April 13, 2021

Mark and Billie have some pretty lofty goals — to live on their bus, working and traveling, while saving up enough money to be completely financially independent and retire early! Wow!

Their school bus conversion features an amazing raised roof, which allowed them to hide their water tank under the floor and *still* have headroom. It also made their shower a great height for not needing to slouch.

You’ll love their video tour and interview with Tiny Home Tours! Check it out below.

    Love this Bus! They should sell the plans and the builder should specialize in bus conversions. The pro/con part was nice to hear. Great video, hope they continue to enjoy the bus life till their goal is reached.
